Which is the best browser for android platform??uc browser was great in Symbian platform but disappointed in their android version,tried boat,Mozilla,chrome but not satisfied,which one would you recommend and why??
 
Since you can install chrome, I assume you are using ICS or higher. Do you have the default android browser or your OEM removed it? Because I keep coming back to the default browser after trying any other browser :D

I found default browser as the most stable one but not too appealing so I try other options and always come back to default browser (usually after few crashes )

Only reason why, I don't use the default browser is that it has no tabs. :-/

Googled it uses android froyo( misspelled??)soory mate,don't know about it used only gingerbread and higher,perhaps you should try rooting
 
Yes, I'm sure, ha. Can't take a screenshot either because the phone doesn't support that. If the default browser had tabs I would use it.
 
If possile try rooting to some latest version of android,if I remember your planning to buy Samsung galaxy S3? Is that correct?
 
What? Tabbed browsing has been on the default browser since Android 2.3 GB! Private browsing has been since Android 4.0 ICS I guess. I don't think there is any difference between ICS and Jelly bean browser (maybe quick controls?). Anyway here is a screenshot of the default browser tabbed browsing on my JB 4.1:

@McLovin: Why don't you flash a custom ROM on your HTC :D
 
As you have discovered older devices cannot upgrade to new Android software releases.

souhrid, What Phone and Android version do you use? :D

I used to use Opera Mobile/Mini on Symbian device (2010-2013), yes it supported tabbed browsing. But now I've upgrade to another phone, I need not to worry what browser I use (still got tabbed browsing).
